Together with Château Pétrus and Ausone, Château Cheval Blanc is one of the legends of the right bank. Always possesses an enormous concentration, but at the same time finesse and freshness. This cru is owned by the Belgian Albert Frère and Bernard Arnault. It is Pierre Lurton (from the branch of Dominique Lurton) who vinifies the wine there (just like in Château d'Yquem). This year, vinification took place for the fifth time in the ultra-modern new chais by the architect Christian de Portzamparc. 50 specially shaped (tronconical) concrete cuvees ensure microvinification per plot. Concrete was chosen because it has good thermal insulation and a tronconical shape because it ensures a softer extraction of the berries for better fermentation. Everything is also vinified using the principle of gravity (so the wine or berries are no longer pumped up). A gigantic investment in the service of quality! The 2019 vintage has been awarded the maximum score of 1000 out of 100 points by Parker (Wine Advocate). This is a 1.5 liter magnum

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze 2019 Cheval Blanc toont intense geconcentreerd zwart en rood fruit, fijne florale toetsen, truffel- en cacaospices met zijdezachte tannines en frisse mineraliteit die de enorme concentratie elegant houdt. Daardoor past hij perfect bij rundvlees, lam en wild: hij kan tegen rijke, vette smaken en verzacht harde zuren terwijl hij umami en kruiden accentueert. Bereidingen zoals gegrilde of dry-aged ribeye, langzaam gegaarde lamsrack of carré met een kruidenkorst, en geroosterd hert met jeneverbessen of een donkere jus werken bijzonder goed.

Château Cheval Blanc is located within the municipal boundaries of the picturesque village of Saint Emilion, close to the Pomerol appellation. The 37 hectare vineyard is planted with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the first of which is also the most important.

The current Cheval Blanc owners, Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frere, decided in 1998 to seal their shared love of wine with the purchase of a Premier Cru Classé A: Château Cheval Blanc. Daily management is in the hands of Pierre Lurton, who comes from a very well-known family of winemakers and château owners. His presence has allowed Château Cheval Blanc to maintain its top position in Bordeaux for the past ten years.
